Car rental in Manchester

Gateway to the northwest of England, Manchester and the surrounding area offer much value to car rental visitors. Once your car rental is arranged at the airport, the countryside beyond is within your grasp.

We recommend starting your car rental tour of the area with a visit to the Lake District National Park. Once there you can explore this largely untouched natural wilderness on foot. A land of mountains, rivers and lakes, the region really lets car rental travellers get away from it all in some beautiful English countryside.

North of Manchester, car rental travellers can also explore a scenic rural region of some 500 square miles. Centred around the old industrial towns of Bury, Oldham, Bolton, Wigan and Rochdale, the region is filled with picturesque little villages. It also offers some stunning natural landscapes for car rental visitors to drive through.

Car rental will also help you reach Hollingworth Lake. Once a holiday destination for the area's mill workers, it is now a popular country park, and gateway to the impressive South Pennines.

The cities near to Manchester are also well worth a car rental journey. Vibrant Liverpool is Capital of Culture 2008, while the cities of Chester and York are renowned for their pretty cathedrals.

Manchester and the surrounding northeast of England were at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, and you can use car rental to visit some of this period's key attractions. We advise a car rental trip to the East Lancashire Railway at Bury, or to the working 18th century cotton mill at Quarry Bank Mill.

Our car rental is Super Inclusive* and your rental price includes any applicable premium location fee, unlimited mileage, collision damage waiver (excess applies), theft protection (excess applies), third party liability insurance, local tax and roadside assistance.
